I challenge any Goan or the generations of Lohia to protest against the current
regime in Goa and to see the inalienable fundamental rights. A visit to Kashmir
would augur well before we jumped the gun. (Written in memory of Floriano Vaz).

Readers in this forum will be quick to say well Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau,
and China are so different. Everything is so well organized. Look what was
prevailing in Goa during the erstwhile colonial rule. My reply to these
critics is that these are dictatorships. When big brother is ever there to
enforce his will, people naturally tend to obey the law. We breathe the air
of freedom here where every one has inalienable fundamental rights.
This is not to be understood that I support the filth, the grime and the
garbage, be it littered on our streets or among our politicians, I only ask
for a more positive approach to these problems with one stipulation. Sermons
and preaching on Goanet are definitely a solution. Positive action on the
part of everyone who is concerned about Goa/ India will work wonders.
